Hello! I am Lisa and a licensed mental health counsellor. I aim to create a tailored and individualistic approach to therapy combining the person-centred approach with cognitive behavioural therapy. I am non-judgemental, empathetic and supportive. Through our work together we can find more happiness and peace in your life and in your relationships too.
I thrive with my work with people and I enjoy exploring issues with others. Making the first step is sometimes the hardest decision to make. Through our exploration of thoughts and feelings we can begin to make sense of the world together in a safe, confidential and positive online environment with acceptance and empowerment shown throughout.
I have a professional interest and experience in anxiety, depression, loneliness and trauma. I am a registered counsellor with the Council for Counsellors of South Africa and a registered British Psychological Society (BPS) graduate member. I believe updating our own skills is very important and recently in 2019, I have finished a course in Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT) and I will continue to enhance my skills as a therapist.
She's very good at understanding what you're going through and she's a great listener. Always trying to get you to think about what you can do to better yourself.
Lisa was so wonderful and had great ideas!
Lisa is amazing! I came to her during the worst time in my life, when things seemed so hopeless. She introduced me to tools and techniques that really started working for me immediately and was such a gentle source of encouragement and compassion. She is such a wise and insightful person and helped me navigate some really painful and difficult decisions. I've never met a better human, and wish that I could give her a thousand star rating. My life is so much better for having met her. Thank you Lisa!!!
My conversations with Lisa were astonishing and insightful. She helped me embrace the actual me, both my strengths and faults and guided me on a course for me to identify who I was. Inevitably, changes comes from within, and only once I embraced this fact, was I able to start on the path of rectifying my issues. During this process, Lisa was an amazing person to bounce ideas off of and a great cheerleader. Truthfully, her exercises and conversations may have saved my life.
She's great always has good advice and is always understanding. Just by her listening and me getting things off my chest it makes me feel better.
I didn't think therapy would help me until I met Lisa. She took time out of her day to talk to me and help me with my problems, at no point did it ever feel like it was about the money I was paying, Lisa is an amazing person with a big heart and lots of love to give. I will never forget her or the conversations I've had with her.
checked in on me---thank you!!
Good listener, gave great insight into problems, had a good understanding of the challenges I was facing, and was articulate in expressing them.
Do it just to vent. You will feel better. Maybe a little scared of how crazy you sound but just keep moving and doing good right?!
Lisa has been amazing!! By far the best therapist I have ever talked to! She is kind, caring and above all she truly cares about what is going on in your life. She felt more like a friend then a therapist and that is really how it should be!! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Lisa to anyone! She has a huge heart and cares alot about everything you talk to her about. I would recommend her for sure!!
I've been in and out of therapy my entire life. It took me lots of research to find affordable therapy and a good therapist that listens with compassion. I see a counselor regularly but online therapy is one of the best decisions I have ever made. I am so glad I have access to conversations with Lisa!
Lisa is super sweet and puts a lot of thought into her responses and questions. She also is empathetic and finds ways to connect with me on a more personal level.
She has been amazing. So much better then going to talk to someone once a week this way I can talk about what's on my mind! I really enjoy this app.
Lisa was incredibly helpful and she helped me feel like I wasn't alone. I am grateful for her compassion, her willingness to read my long messages, and her ability to point me in a direction that would help me improve myself. She encouraged me in things that I was afraid to do, she helped me narrow down what I was really worried about/confused about/angry about. I was in a pretty bad place in my life, but she helped me find my way through it. Overall, Lisa is fantastic and I would highly recommend her to anyone.
If not for Lisa, i do not where where i would be right now, in a darker place, perhaps not even alive anymore. She is kind and listens and offers varying perspectives to the problems around me and in me.<br /> <br /> I see myself to continue to grow through Lisa professionalism, but most of all her compassion.
Only a few days in, and she's been incredible. She's been listening to what I have to say, and I feel like she's addressing anything I bring up.
Lisa was super helpful in walking me through the process of what to expect and my goals for therapy. This was my first real shot at therapy (I had been to a couple of sessions before years ago) so I didn't know what to expect. Her insights were helpful and she's very responsive. She helped get me through a dark chapter after several months of therapy!
Lisa made me feel validated in a way no previous therapist I've had has before. She was such a wonderful listener and I felt like I could relate to her very much. I wish I could continue with her!
Live savor. I wish I could talk to her all day long to help with every thought process I have but I know she is busy.
